This upcoming week my preschool twins boys and teen son will all begin their summer break. Like most parents, I am looking for fun and constructive activities to keep everyone busy and happy during the summer months. Living in the sunshine state, the months of June, July, and August, are among the hottest so the last thing I want to do is spend time cooking over a hot stove. Being fans of slow cooker (crockpot) recipes, we know firsthand how using the slow cooker can be a really easy timesaver in the kitchen, so we wanted to share one of our favorites – slow cooker meatballs.
We have tried various recipes of slow cooker meatballs and have always found the meatballs to be flavorful and compliment any sauce.
1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Turkey
- Combine first 4 ingredients; shape into 1-inch balls. Place in slow cooker; top with vegetables and sauce. Cover with lid.
- Cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours (or on HIGH 3 to 4 hours).
- Cook spaghetti as directed on package, omitting salt. Drain spaghetti; serve topped with sauce and cheese.
Tip
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, garlic, onion, and egg. Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs.
- In a slow cooker, mix the spaghetti sauce, crushed tomatoes, and tomato puree. Place the meatballs into the sauce mixture. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
